Description

Hope you enjoy this one. I've decided to create a very dark, humid, misty and wet look as one would encounter being within the canopy of the rain forest with bits of sunlight streaming thru and lighting some of the features of the area. I originally used a lot of radial lights placed at certain positions to accomplish the look I was attempting to achieve. After stopping the render mid way thru, I decided to remove some of them for various reasons. It ended up as you see it here with 15 radial lights being used. Enjoy and thanks for viewing and commenting... Bryce Resized, sharpened and sig. with Paint.Net

Wow Keith! That's really wonderful! One of your very best yet! Your landscapes are always good, always charismatic, but this is astonishing. You really have got a different look with here. Plenty of mood and.... brooding atmosphere. Very well done!

This is a corker, Keith! Those lights make such a difference to what would otherwise be pretty special anyway for a variety of reasons. Not up with the technical problems you must have encountered (as you know scantily clad warrior maidens are more my thing) but I really appreciate fine details and you have achieved a fine 'result' again.
